Single use plastics - Edit
Food was good. We tried the chickpea curry & rice, mushroom pie, quinoa salad, rice ball & the pickled salad, together with a coconut water and a lime kombucha. Service was fast. Only draw back is the use of single use plastics. Would eat here again

Mixed review! - Edit
I recently visited IKU Wholefood at Martin Place and had a mixed experience. The lasagna and salad were both quite nice and flavorful, but I was disappointed with the sweet potato ball, which was completely cold. When I asked the staff to warm it up, they refused, claiming they didn’t have an oven or microwave to do so. This felt quite inconvenient and left me dissatisfied. While the food was decent overall, the lack of flexibility in service was disappointing.

Tasty lasagne - Edit
This is a really good option for when you’re out and about. I had the lasagne and some salad and it was all delicious.

Flavour explosion - Edit
Fresh, healthy and super tasty bowls of goodness! The service is fast and the options are plentiful, all really fresh and flavoursome. The tahini sauce was a standout, as was the pickled red salad. It's the sort of food that makes your body thank you for the nutrients but doesn't make your taste buds feel like they missed out.
Read moreThis is located in a kind of fancy food court situation, and if possible I'd recommend sitting under the skylight, which is the bottom of a water feature that seagulls play in. Very cute to watch them from below!

Delicious lasagne - Edit
The lasagne was surprisingly really good, cheesy and much gooier then it looks.
Read moreI chose 3 salads which were crunchy and fresh and came with a tahini based green goddess style dressing which was SO tasty.
The broccoli soup was nice and warming.
I left feeling nourished and satisfied.
Pros: Lasagne, Salads with delicious dressing

Shut 🙁 - Edit
Sadly the opening hours on Happy Cow were not up to date and when we arrived they were already shut for the day (hours have now been updated).
Read moreHowever we did find some ready prepared IKU salads in Greens Supermarket, the Soba Noodle Cauliflower Salad and the Asian Noodle Cucumber Salad, they were fresh and included lots of veg.
**update** husband went back for lunch and he really enjoyed the bowl 💚

Quick Tasty Vegan Lunch - Edit
A clean stall in an office food court, there’s a good variety of healthy plant-based meals. I tried the Iku wrap which the helpful person behind the counter described as a salad in a wrap. Delicious and filling and cheap! Hint - if you show up close to closing you might get a bonus food item for free! I showed up at 2:45 and got a rice paper wrap which was tasty too!

Healthy vegan in the CBD - Edit
It's always great to support an all vegan establishment. This place is especially great because it serves nutritional and healthy food, curries, salads and such. Very filling, leaving you full and healthy.

Insane!! - Edit
Amazing lunch spot, so so many options, fresh food, friendly staff. Really reasonably priced. So much flavour packed into their salads. Loved it and sad I didn’t get to go again.

Great food - Edit
I had mushroom dahl, chick pea salad and quinoa kale salad. All were really delicious and fresh. Had a yummy rice ball too. The quality is incredible considering it's just really a small hole in the wall in an underground food hall in the centre of Sydney. The ladies who were serving were lovely and happy!

Healthy and nutritious options - Edit
Laksa, salad bowl, and wholewheat tart were all very delicious and left me feeling energized. The salad was super fresh & salad dressing/laksa/curries didn’t have any sugar added which is an achievement on its own 👏

Vegan food court offering 👌🏼 - Edit
Was given 15 minutes for lunch (yeah - I know right!) so had to quickly find somewhere to grab some food and get back to the office. Switched on the app - BOOM! Mission accomplished. Found this little gem in a food court. Plenty on offer and everything looked great tbh. I opted for a wrap. Couldn’t tell you what was in it as I didn’t get a chance to ask - but it tasted great.
Read moreNot bad for a quick stop off when you’re in a hurry.
Pros: Completely vegan, Friendly staff, Delicious food

The location is about 50m too far south on the map - Edit
Food court food with disposable cutlery and bowls, unfortunately but the laksa w/ rice was delicious and rich in flavour, and only $8!
Read morePros: All vegan, Super ethical and thought-out...
Cons: ...except the spoons and bowls, which are plastic, It’s 14:51 and they only had a few bowls left

They have since gone to compostable bowls and cutlery it seems, which is pleasing. The food court also has a range of organic bins accessible which was great to see!

small meals, huge price tag - Edit
Overpriced for a food court meal. Small portion sizes don’t help. It tasted nice but nothing to write home about. Good if you’re desperate and forgot to pack ur lunch for work.
Read morePros: In a food court
